Websense ThreatSeeker Network
Foundation of the Websense Technology
The Websense ThreatSeeker Network is the core technology foundation behind all Websense Web security and messaging security solutions.
It provides the underpinning intelligence that delivers real-time reputation analysis and expanded behavioral analysis to give users the most up-to-date protection possible from unwanted content and malicious threats.
The ThreatSeeker Network is comprised of a technology and human intelligence based adaptive feedback network that uses more than 50 million real-time data collecting systems to parse one billion pieces of content daily.
This allows Websense to provide its customers with the most advanced content classification, data identification, and security filtering available, in order to mitigate risks to customer data and productivity and uncover adaptive threats that pose a risk to your business.
Whereas some other solutions rely on basic URL filters, outdated signature-based antivirus systems, and costly intrusion-prevention systems, Websense delivers real-time reputation analysis and expanded behavioral analysis to provide customers with the most accurate protection available.
The Websense Master Database
The Most Accurate in the Industry
The Websense Master Database has the industry's most accurate classification of URLs, protocols, and applications. Websense uses a variety of proprietary classification software and human inspection techniques to maintain the Master Database.
More Than 36 Million Web sites in more than 90 Categories
URL Categories give organizations the ability to design specific Internet use policies to maintain employee productivity, manage network bandwidth usage, lessen legal liability and prevent exposure to viruses, spyware, keyloggers, and other malware.
More Than 100 Protocols in 15 Categories
Protocol Categories help organizations set policies for applications requiring network resources to communicate to block spyware and keylogger backchannel communication, extend policy control and enforcement to the network level and to manage peer-to-peer (P2P), email, file transfer, and other protocols.
More Than 2.6 Million Applications and Executables in more than 50 Categories
Application Categories allow organizations to define flexible, scalable policies for application use at the desktop that prohibit unauthorized applications from being installed or launched, minimize exposure to malicious applications, such as hacking tools or applications containing malicious mobile code, and decrease the possibility of application conflicts and the IT resources required to fix them.
